Religion has no place in politics. Germany is supposed to be a secular state, yet here we are once again with a Christian leader bringing her "Christian values" into politics.
Can't say I'm that surprised, Germany is a bit like America in that despite being "secular" religion still has quite a strong presence. I do think we'll live to see gay marriage there though, Germany is hardly a bad place to be gay, public attitudes to it are apparently very liberal and there's strong support.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
